Then you should have worded it in a way that actually supports trans people.

If I said, "If you see the homeless people in the streets, the unaffordable gas prices, and the moms who can’t feed their children, and you're still blaming immigrants, you're either a racist or an idiot" you wouldn't assume I was contrasting racists and idiots, you would know I was putting them in the same boat.

There's a lot of better ways you could have written your comment if that's not what you intended.

And even if I grant you the most leeway possible, you're still throwing the trans people under the bus by saying nobody else should be thinking about them, even if it's in a supportive way.

I didn't downvote your original comment at first because I hate to do that, but now that I'm seeing how deep you want to dig this grave for yourself, I'm going to do so because you're a waste of Internet space.
